1-ETS 1

Essential Question:

How can we use the scientific method to design solutions to everyday problems we observe?

Portrait of a Graduate:

Adaptive Perseverance: Encourage iterative testing and refinement of hypotheses based on experimental evidence.
Learner’s Mindset: Promote curiosity about the natural and built world, using the scientific method as a tool for inquiry and problem-solving.
Critical Thinking: Foster the ability to analyze data and evidence critically to draw conclusions and make informed decisions.
Collaboration: Highlight the importance of sharing ideas, peer review, and teamwork in the scientific process.

Inquiry Question:

What is the scientific method, and what are its steps?

2. Inquiry Question:

Can you identify a problem in our classroom or community that can be addressed using the scientific method?

3. Inquiry Question:

How can we test our solution to see if it works?

Student Outcomes:

Students will describe the steps of the scientific method: question, research, hypothesis, experiment, analysis, and conclusion.

2. Student Outcomes:

Students will apply the scientific method to a real or simulated problem in their immediate environment, creating a hypothesis and testing it through an experiment.

3. Student Outcomes:

Students will analyze the results of their experiment and draw conclusions, considering what worked and what could be improved.

Skills Demonstrated:

Modeling

Standards:

NGSS K-2-ETS1-1: Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.
NGSS K-2-ETS1-2: Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.
